Doch Gypsy Orchestra

Wed 11 - Sun 15 Nov 09

FINAL SEASON FEATURING ZULYA, SILVIA ENTCHEVA, GORAN MARIC AND LOCAL FATHER ANDSON  GYPSY -ROM MUSIC SENSATION VASIL & VASILINI LOLO

After six years of Balkan gypsy rhythms that border on the diabolical, the musical madness of the Doch Gypsy Orchestra draws to a close this November.

With big-band wedding music, rousing Serbian anthems, Russian tavern songs and joyful orchestrated chaos, Doch and 20 of their closest friends will celebrate their final season.

Featuring special guests 

Zulya, Silvia Entcheva, Goran Maric and local father and son Gypsy - Rom music sensation Vasil & Vasilini Lolo

Featuring new tunes and the return of some old favourites, Doch Gypsy Orchestra promises the biggest party this side of the Balkans!

“…energised by a wildly enthusiastic audience, the band swings through the set like a supercharged Gipsy Kings crossed with the Mos Eisley Cantina band conducted by the ghost of Benny Goodman….the perfect soundtrack for merriment of every description…there’s nothing you can’t do to this music…” Jeff Glorfield, The Age

"…you can hear an extravagant spontaneity at work as each song flows around its themes, diverting off for the occasional solo before returning home…the violin swirls, the tuba squelches and the banjo twangs, building up to kinetic explosions of bliss over and over again…” Jody McGregor, Rave Magazine

Supported by Westpac and MacQuarie Private Wealth

Presented in cabaret mode.

Friday 13th at 7.30pm and Saturday 14th at 6.30pm - Upper Gallery Seats only available - please call the Box Office on 3358 8600 to purchase - not available online!
